With an idyllic village green setting in the small hamlet of Anick, the Rat enjoys spectacular views across the surrounding countryside with the river Tyne in the distance curving around to the ancient Roman village of Corbridge.

Originally a drovers inn conveniently situated just a few miles from the market town of Hexham,the Rat is an historic 18th century inn with a colourful past.

Since Phil and Karen took over in 2007 the pub has also earned an enviable reputation for its locally sourced, award winning food.
